Right, California could secede and collapse all the red states.

Either way we’re heading to something.

In the non realistic fever dream of States seceding I always felt Colorado would get shafted since it struck in the middle of the US.

  • California, Oregon, Washington are fine since they have the Pacific Ocean.
  • Minnesota, Michigan, maybe Wisconsin all share a border with Canada to the North.
  • New York and many of the North East States either border Canada or the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Colorado borders all Deep Red States and New Mexico.

I’m pretty sure I remember in the early 1990’s, the good people of Colorado turned out to basically say “go ahead and discriminate against gays”, which the supreme court overturned. And I’m certain that in 2006, Coloradans showed up to the polls there to agree (by a 10 point margin) to defining a marriage as between one man and one woman. I’m not convinced they wouldn’t be happier with their deep red neighbors when all is said and done.

Modern Colorado is very different than the CO of the 2000s.

Also, even blue CA passed gay discrimination in the 00s
